Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

NPM package @samarth-23-eng/india-mcp
Claude Code
claude mcp add india-mcp-banking -- npx -y @samarth-23-eng/india-mcp@1.0.11
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code)
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "india-mcp-banking": {

🇮🇳 India MCP

Collection of MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers for Indian APIs and services. Enable AI agents like Claude, Cursor, and OpenCode to operate natively in the Indian market with real-time data and specialized tools.


🇮🇳 Why India-MCP?

Indian digital infrastructure is powerful but fragmented. Many government and enterprise portals are:

  • Unstable: Intermittent downtime and slow response times.
  • Protected: Require specific headers and session management.
  • Inconsistent: Varying data formats (HTML, JSON, XML).

India-MCP provides a unified, resilient, and AI-optimized layer over these services, enabling agents to verify identities, track logistics, analyze markets, and navigate the legal system with a single protocol.


🚀 Features

  • Production Grade: Hardened servers with retry logic, request timeouts, and in-memory TTL caching.
  • Resilient Data: Intelligent fallback strategies (e.g., NSE → Yahoo Finance) for maximum availability.
  • Privacy First: Browser-compliant headers and respectful API usage patterns.
  • Developer Friendly: Clean JSON-RPC interfaces and normalized tool responses.
  • Unified Ecosystem: Shared utilities for banking, legal, and market data.

🏗 Architecture

India-MCP uses a shared resilience layer to handle the instability of Indian government portals.

  • Retries: 2 retries with exponential backoff for all network calls.
  • Caching: TTL-based memory cache to prevent IP blocking.
  • Fallbacks: Automatic switching to backup data sources.

Technical details: docs/ARCHITECTURE.md

  • [ ] eCourts (Extended): Supreme Court and High Court specific filters.
  • [ ] FSSAI: Food license validation.
  • [ ] CDSCO: Medicine registry verification.
  • [ ] Land Records: Digital Bhulekh access.
